Stevie Nicks says that although Fleetwood Mac was notorious for their drug use both on the road and in the studio, the band members all drew the line with heroin. Nicks told Britain's The Independent, "It was a party. Everyone was partying. It was dangerous, but it was fun. They were fantastic, tragic times... None of us ever did heroin. Right there, that's why we are alive. We were careful -- we didn't die. But we could have."
Nicks went on to say that new artists lack the support and structure of major record labels to become formidable live acts: "New artists can't do what we do -- they don't get the support from their record companies. We just stayed on the road. We've done it so long we could be half dead and still do a great show with one day of rehearsal."
Earlier this year, Nicks released a solo retrospective called Crystal Visions - The Very Best Of Stevie Nicks.
Last month Nicks was inducted into the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix.
Stevie Nicks will perform tomorrow night (October 19th) in Rosemont, Illinois at the Rosemont Theatre.
